Sinister: Breathless

[Schaffenberger]

Have I seen BREATHLESS???  Yes, thanks to a French Cinema class (it was 
amazing that we even watched Godard and Truffaut.  My prof wanted to 
watch films like DIVA and COUP DE TORCHON in addition to Cocteau's LA 
BELLE ET LA BETE... c'mon... And we had to write a paper comparing the 
Cocteau version to the Disney version.  I'm pretty sure my paper ended up 
being a scathing criticism of the assignment and her character, but I did 
get an A in the class.) A very beautiful film, and, somehow, very B&S, 
though I haven't ever heard the sample in "Hurley's Having dreams."   The 
stylish striped outfit that the young-- oh what's the American girl's 
first name? Patricia?-- gamine wears throughout the movie is somehow 
reminiscent of the first Barbie (the one with the slanty, blue-eyeshadow 
smothered eyes, pursed red lips, high ponytail and bangs) and her black 
and white striped bathing suit, which, in turn, reminds me of the cover 
of 3,6,9...  But there I go making image associations again...  So what 
was the point of this message??
